Traveler-Friendly Insight

This role has significant location constraints that limit its appeal for digital nomads and location-independent workers. Candidates must physically reside in one of eight specific US states: West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, or Florida — and the role requires approximately 25% travel to visit clients in the field.

This is not a fully remote, location-flexible position. While Samsara does offer a flexible working model, this sales role is tied to a defined geographic territory in the US Southeast/Mid-Atlantic region. You must maintain a US address in one of the listed states, which rules out prolonged stays abroad on tourist or digital nomad visas while holding this role.

For the US-based traveler perspective:

  • Domestic travel: 25% travel means roughly one week per month on the road — manageable for someone who enjoys visiting different cities within the territory.
  • OTE of $152k–$190k is well above cost-of-living in most Southeast US markets (e.g., Knoxville, TN or Charleston, SC), giving strong savings potential if you base yourself in a lower-cost state.
  • International nomad lifestyles are not compatible with this role given the residency and in-person client requirements.

If you're seeking a truly location-independent sales role, look for fully remote SaaS account executive positions without geographic territory restrictions instead.

Who We Are

Samsara (NYSE: IOT) is the pioneer of the Connected Operations™ Cloud, a platform that enables organizations that depend on physical operations to harness Internet of Things (IoT) data to develop actionable insights and improve their operations. At Samsara, we are helping improve the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the physical operations that power our global economy. Representing more than 40% of global GDP, these industries are the infrastructure of our planet — including agriculture, construction, field services, transportation, and manufacturing — and we are excited to help digitally transform their operations at scale.

Working at Samsara means you'll help define the future of physical operations and be on a team that's shaping an exciting array of product solutions, including Video-Based Safety, Vehicle Telematics, Apps and Driver Workflows, and Equipment Monitoring. As part of a recently public company, you'll have the autonomy and support to make an impact as we build for the long term.

About the Role

This is a dynamic, high-energy role in which you will bring the Internet of Things to mid-sized customers, building Samsara's business and bringing the benefits of sensor data to customers. Typical sales will be $20k to $100k, and involve POCs, multiple stakeholders, managing trials, multi-faceted pricing negotiations, and selling to executives and CXOs.

This role is open for candidates residing in the following US states: West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. The role requires travel approximately 25% of the time.

You Should Apply If:

  • You want to impact the industries that run our world: Your efforts will result in real-world impact — helping to keep the lights on, get food into grocery stores, and most importantly, ensure workers return home safely.
  • Your mantra is #alwaysbeprospecting: The world of operations is vast. Your customers are often out in the field and the best way to reach them is live on the phone. Samsara's top reps do constant research to find companies and contacts to expand their pipeline.
  • You have innate curiosity in how businesses work: One day you'll meet with someone in waste management and the next you may be learning about the inner workings of a food distribution center. Our top sales team members seek to learn the ins and outs of the businesses they support in order to make a larger impact.
  • You are a lifelong learner: Samsara sales are complex. You will need to learn about businesses where you previously had little knowledge. The payoff is big but you have to be willing to put in the work.
  • You build genuine relationships with your customers: The industries we serve have relied on pen-and-paper solutions for years and haven't been met with the type of technology we offer. Our customers value earned trust and human relationships built over time.
  • You want to be with the best: Samsara's high-performance sales culture means you'll be surrounded by the best and challenged to go farther than you have before.

Minimum Requirements for This Role:

  • 2+ years of experience in a full-cycle, closing sales role
  • Experience independently closing new deals larger than $10,000 in annual revenue
  • All candidates must be located in one of the following states: West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, or Florida

An Ideal Candidate Has:

  • Proven track record of consistent quota achievement
  • Experience selling in the midmarket space — medium to large deal sizes
  • Experience with high-volume cold calling
  • A growth mindset and a willingness to be collaborative with teammates and in the selling process
  • Familiarity with Salesforce (SFDC)

Compensation

Annual on-target earnings (OTE) range for full-time employees for this position depends on your city of residence:

Annual OTE: $152,000 — $190,000 USD

We meaningfully differentiate pay for our top performers, who have the opportunity to earn above-market compensation that can outpace the broader market over time.

Beyond compensation, we provide the foundations that enable long-term success: a flexible, employee-led remote model, a professional development stipend, comprehensive health and parental leave plans, and more.
